Epic have been getting a lot of bad press lately, but one thing is for certain and that is that the Unreal developer certainly hasn't been neglecting the console market lately, as proved by the efforts being made to get Unreal Tournament 3 working on the Xbox 360.

Unreal Tournament 3 was released on PC late last year and the PlayStation 3 version followed soon after, but there's still no sight of the Xbox 360 port of the game - odd given that the game was said to be finished a long time ago.

The reason for the delay apparently is down to the mod system, which Epic is keen to get working on consoles as well as PCs. Mark Rein assured fans that the company is still working hard on the project though in a recent interview.

"We're still trying. We're working with Microsoft to try to figure out how to support it, but regardless of what happens, mods will play a part somewhere along the line. We'll make sure we get a fair share of mods working. We'll figure that out."

Mods have been a surprising success for PlayStation 3 gamers despite some of our concerns and it's good to see that Epic is trying to give the same experience to all platforms. It seems only fair - though you do have to ask where the Wii version is.

Well the Wii version would need a new engine, that's why there isn't one .

IMO if the game was done for the 360, they just should have released it. Mods are nice, but you can add the support in a patch later. It's more important to get the game out so people can play in the meantime.

fawk, i wish i can get my $50 back.. crap! yes, the servers are almost always empty. I went back to ut2004 and omg, still full as ever... all the pros and the good clans totally abandoned UT3... POS UT3 is a noob's game now.

Weapons are stronger (ahem.. stinger..) and no shield gun to protect you. You can have max health and shield and if someone is spamming rocks at you, bye bye.. stinger can kill you miles away with no problem..
